Returns and exchanges


If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return the item or items to us in their original condition* within 30 days of receipt. You must notify us in writing within 14 working days, by post or email of your intention to do this.

We will issue a refund or exchange the item for a different size / colour if preferred. Delivery charges are only refundable if you have canceled your entire order within the 7 day Cooling-Off Period or where the goods are faulty and a refund is made.

Where you require an exchange, for example, because a size has been incorrectly ordered or you have changed your mind, we will make a small charge to cover re-delivery costs.

Payment for this must be provided before we will send out the replacement item.

For European and International orders the charge will vary depending on the current cost of delivery to that country. For an accurate price, please contact us before returning your item. sales@yachtshop.co.uk

Sorry, but we cannot accept returns of custom items, boats over four meters in length, engines more than 20hp, cut lengths of hose, chain or rope.
